This is troubling, thanks for reporting it.
I have looked at the code, and the only way the message you quoted can
appear is indeed if Octave has attempted a web request, either
automatically at startup, or when the menu item under the News menu.
Can you verify that the option is actually disabled? What does
grep allow_web_connection ~/.config/octave/qt-settings
yield?
